The Agency Workers Regulations (AWR) came into force in the UK on 1st October 2011. This act gives agency workers the entitlement to the same basic employment and working conditions as if they had been recruited directly, if and when they complete a qualifying period of 12 weeks in the same job.

Entering the details into the AWR Calculator will give you an indication of whether the contracted pay rate is likely to meet the comparator check under the terms of the Agency workers regulations.

This is only a guide and you should carry out your own check to ensure that it meets your specific circumstances.
